It just seems like the new 6k is positioned to poach prospective

Now that you mention the "N-word" I have to ask (as we're looking into a
deployment)... how much of it is ready for prime time, and feature
compatible with the Catalysts?
This clearly depends on the features you use today on the c6k. We did a
cpoc and found that the n7k w/ m2's did everything we do today with c6k
and then some. YMMV, but test, test, test.
Agreed. We use a pair of N7k in a collapsed P/PE for L3VPN, MVPN, v4/v6
and OSPF/BGP and found them to have parity with c6k. They're quite nice
actually, though I have my concerns about the long-term commitment of
the BU to certain features that might be considered "SP-grade" if you
turn your head and squint.
Baffled that they removed the CMP on later SUPs though; seemed like a
seriously good feature, and it's very hard to believe customers didn't
want it....
